so i do sense difference and my wife works at the pentagon. there is concern about that. >> there's an interesting parallel, chris, that david just reminded me of, that the longer these get delayed, whether it's a sequester or nomination of chuck hagel, that's more time for people who are opposed to what's going on to get ads out there, to lobby. it just make it is more complicated, doesn't it? >> absolutely. and it makes it it more expensive, chris. if you go down the road, it's not just that they have to fix going forward. they have to then retroactively avoid the cuts that will take effect march 1st. it gets more expensive. when i talk to republican senators, they say mitch mcconnell is in no mood to be the closer again. there's no sense that they are going to bend on these demands for more cuts without more tax revenue and they are signaling that very clearly. of course, it's easy to signal that early on in the fight. but the republicans are working closely across the congress, from the house to the senate, to make sure that their message

ten years ago the pentagon had 50 drones. today it's 7,500. a third of the air force's fleet unmanned. u.s. military carried out 447 drone attacks in afghanistan in the first 11 months in 2012. 294 total in all of 2011. what's behind this drone explosion, if you will? >> well, i think that drones are sort of irresistible for a policymaker, for a president who is worried about protecting the country but also, you know, a president who in many ways was formed politically by the experiences in iraq and afghanistan, at least as far as his foreign policy views, who doesn't want to see dangerous, costly, bloody military entanglements in far away nations. drones are surgical. they're cheap. you can have a pretty high degree of accuracy. it is true that there have been numerous civilian casualties, but relative to any other technology we have short of sending in, you know, an assassin with a sniper rifle which in many cases just isn't practical, drones are the best way to sort of take the enemy off the battlefield. they don't cost a lot of money. ther
